*Like* for KB7's assesment of the L139

I'd want to play this game too.

I just got through fuel economy and climb testing the JSBsim FDM for the Swift R5. I'm surprised it can do all of the route at a 75% power cruise at 480 knots (Roughly mach 0.86) at 35,000 feet altitude,and still have some fuel left. I'm a bit dismayed that it's interior I left barren of working gauges and control animations and models for so long. Although I think the top speed is pretty neat, I question it's ability to go as fast as it does in the sim, being that although it's considered transonic, it doesn't have an area rule or Coke bottle profiled fuselage, it being from the mid 50's, before this came into use. I do like it's spiffy camo themed livery, but camo doesn't always make a plane fly any better. I don't know if this Swift model is the pre afterburner R4 or the post afterburner equipped R5 with the Avon 114 that briefly held the speed world record for 24 hours before a Douglas Skyray broke the Swift's speed record the following day. I'll probably need to fix the afterburner effect for this plane and check the property tree to see if it is actually augmented.

Wadya think sirs?

I'll go with the Hawker Hunter as flown by the Rhodesian Air Force (RhAF) in the 1970's and early 80's. Just pity that I don't have the livery.

LOL
@KB7 and @Lesbof

I'll be making a few fixes to the Su37, but can't make a lyrics for the theme :S

So Jomo decided to ignore me for absolutely no reson (see tomorrow's film ), when I flew the 777.

So I decided to get the Viggen and do some testing for the Tour.

@SHM that's a veeeeeeeeery old Viggen. =]

[SHM]

Maybe. It was there in my HDD not a fresh download.

Will update it

I see good reason in the film to ignore you. You did not follow instructions and did not read back. That is a very bad combination. It indicates that you are doing your own thing and do not want to communicate about it.

The instruction was: Make a right circle and desc to fl xxx. For 40 seconds you did not read back and just pressed on straight. Only when Jomo asked if you read his instruction, you bluntly answered: I do not need to circle. This is equal to saying: I do not follow your instructions, and i do not care to communicate about deviating from your instructions.

Had you neglected to do one of the two, then your unwillingness may not have been taken so severe.

1) In case of doing the circle, but "forget" to read back, then when Jomo asked if you read the instruction, he would say: please read back faster next time.

2) In case of not wanting to circle and communicating that immediately, then Jomo may say either "ok, continue" or "do as i say".

But the combination of not following the instruction and not communicating that you do not follow it, is sending out a clear message that you do not want to participate in the game played there.

Kind regards, Vincent

@SM

I hadnt seen the movie, but KL666 description above is really far away to "for nothing".

Facepalm.

And you put a cherry on the cake (to show the exemplary behavior of an MD?) by jumping a Viggen on the rwy?

hhhmmmm....

[I suggest we move to "the next page" ]

[SHM]

As soon as I got into MP range with EDDF I said "Langen Radar SM inbound EDDF" and I clearly mentioned I was voice recieve only. Jomo then asked my intentions. I said inbound EDDF again and again.

At this point Jomo had already started to shout and it got me so angry because there was nothing wrong in what I did.

The reason why the read back took time is because I was descending manually and not under AP. I follow the rule Fly first, communicate second. I cannot type and fly at the same time. And jomo could very well understood from the screen that I could descending fast and may not need to circle. When he asked again why I'm not circling I told I don't need to. The idea whether a plane can descend that fast or not lies in the Pilot's head.

After all this, I did the flight to Geneva with you under ATC. Did you find a single problem there which clearly shows I'm experienced enough to fly under ATC control.(I know I used my voice there)

I have flown quite a lot on the VATSIM network, and I've never encountered an ATC who gets angry or never have I seen them lose their calm professional attitude.
The ATCs there are trained based on RL procedures and you need qualification to control.

Look at jomo's film to see how many times I have flown there. Oh wait its not there anymore. So check my MP tracker. I was one of the few people there who flew professionally following SIDs,STAR, proper terminology. I don't really care anymore, what he does is just drive more people to try VATSIM, IVAO, pilot edge.. etc (based on my experience)

Have you ever wondered why there are so many trolls at EDDF?

Btw the only MD I know is "Doctor of Medicine" or "Managing Director"
